In a press release late Wednesday, Marsh said the Committee on Assignments had worked to match Senators with panels that complemented their skills and interests.

“I look forward to working with these members in the upcoming session. There are some tough issues facing the state and I believe these committees and their members are best equipped to address these issues in a way that benefits the people of Alabama” Marsh said.

Senate Minority Leader Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro) said he appreciated the way the Republican majority handled the committee assignments.

“Because we are in the minority we’re only going to get so many seats on committees,” Singleton said. However, I think what has been done was fair based on the percentage of people that we have.

“There were only two committees that we didn’t get seats, the Committee on Assignment and the Local Legislation Committee, but I would have liked to have representation on those as well, and of course we would love some chairmanships.”

Below is the full list of committee assignments for the new legislative term.
